Getafe CF are scouring the free agent market to strengthen a squad depleted by injuries. José Bordalás's team faces the season with only 15 or 16 players available, following long-term injuries to Christantus Uche and Juanmi Jiménez and shorter-term absences for Kiko Femenía and Abdel Aqbar.
The Madrid-based club, sitting 11th in La Liga with 8 points from seven games, has three free slots for cost-free additions. The coaching staff is looking for specific profiles to provide depth for a squad competing on three fronts. Bordalás has stated the group is very short and needs extra players for rotation.
The profile Bordalás wants
The manager wants veteran La Liga players with recent experience, good fitness, and a willingness to accept a squad role. The priority is a physically imposing central midfielder, as currently only Orel Mangala fully covers that position. A winger or full-back to rest regular starters is also sought.
Names linked with the right flank include Pol Lirola and Renzo Saravia. For the midfield, Renato Sanches, Ulises Rivas, Habib Keita, Jean Onana, and Idrissa Doumbia have been mentioned. Other, more complicated options like Anthony Martial, or those with past league experience like Pedro Rodríguez and Nemanja Radonjic, are also on the radar.
The current situation forces creativity in the market. The team is coming off a 1-0 win over Malaga, with a goal from Iván Azón, but faces a tough trip to leaders Barcelona next on October 10th.
The goal is clear: add experience and depth to maintain competitiveness throughout the campaign. Any signings would aim to provide immediate solidity during a key period.
